Given Lemmy’s leftward sociopolitical skew, the appreciation for Star Trek makes perfect sense, but what do we think of “MacGyver”? I specifically refer to the 85-92 Richard Dean Anderson show; I know there’s a reboot but I haven’t seen it yet.
Let’s see…
-Leftward Socio-political Commentary, including environmental activism and anti-authoritarianism
-Male protagonist with actual outward sensitivity & feelings
-“Open-source”; makes his own tools/gadgets from whatever’s available instead of relying on a corporate supply chain.
Sounds right up this platform’s alley.
I’m halfway through season 2 and it’s pretty damn good; it’s basically James Bond as an overgrown Boy Scout and that’s actually rather endearing.
I posted this in the other lemmy, but just to demonstrate:
It’s annoying when you post the same topic across multiple lemmys, especially when they’re ideentical in function.
No, it’s only annoying when you complain about it across multiple instances.
That does demonstrate the point, does it not?
No.
You are the problem, not OP.
Please explain the difference. We are both repeating the same statements across multiple instances.
I can’t tell if you’re either disingenuous or dense, but I guess I’ll take the bait.
They’re spreading new information across a wider space. You’re just whining and contributing nothing to the communities or the discussion.
Ah, well, ok, Mr. Toxic Positivity, here’s an argument that is implied by my whining which might contribute more greatly to discussion:
🙄
Oh, no, what happened to contributing the discussion?
Point to the toxic positivity please?
Discarding complaining as “whining”–and my attempts at more substantive discussion was met with the eye roll emoji, so perhaps nothing negative has any value at all to this person.
It wasn’t used here, but it’s slightly better if the actual cross-post functionality is used. Then at least Piefed can maybe merge the comments sections.
AFAIK that doesn’t help for Lemmy or other federated services.
